Shanxi Reservoir

Shanxi Reservoir is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Shanxi Reservoir rather than just read about it. In short: Shanxi Reservoir (traditional Chinese: 山西水庫; simplified Chinese: 山西水库; pinyin: Shānxī Shuǐkù), also known as Shansi Reservoir, is a reservoir located in Shanxi Village, Jinsha Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan. Its water source is natural rainfall.

Key takeaways

Shanxi Reservoir belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Shanxi Reservoir to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Shanxi Reservoir from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Shanxi Reservoir (traditional Chinese: 山西水庫; simplified Chinese: 山西水库; pinyin: Shānxī Shuǐkù), also known as Shansi Reservoir, is a reservoir located in Shanxi Village, Jinsha Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan. Its water source is natural rainfall. The construction of the Shanxi Reservoir started in March 1996 and was completed in September 1997. It has a catchment area of 0.88 square kilometers and a designed effective water storage capacity of about 220,000 cubic meters.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Shanxi Reservoir

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Shanxi Reservoir claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Shanxi Reservoir before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Shanxi Reservoir ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Shanxi Reservoir

In research: Shanxi Reservoir appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Shanxi Reservoir in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Shanxi Reservoir is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1997, Buildings and structures in Taiwan, Geography of Kinmen County, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Shanxi Reservoir outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
